p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is outstanding

The management team has exceptionally high expectations and monitors the quality of performance and provision extremely effectively. For example, there is a high priority placed on extending staff qualifications, skills and practice to meet children's complex needs superbly well. This helps to ensure that children continually benefit from high quality interactions and support, although occasionally, managers do not use all opportunities to help new staff extend their skills further. Partnerships with other settings that children attend are outstanding. For example, staff share an extremely wide range of information to help other settings provide similar, consistent supportive care and teaching. Safeguarding is effective. The management team and staff have an excellent understanding of the procedures to follow should any concerns arise.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is outstanding

Staff care for children who have a range of highly complex medical needs. They assess children's achievements and progress carefully. For example, staff identify specific difficulties that children encounter and plan small, targeted next steps to help them make progress based on their individual starting points. Teaching stimulates and engages children thoroughly at all times. For example, staff encourage children sensitively to explore a range of different materials and textures while acting out a story. Staff and parents work together extremely well to meet children's needs. For example, staff help parents to learn techniques that they can continue at home to extend children's learning experiences further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff relationships with children are of the highest standard. Children behave exceptionally well. For example, they share resources, and listen to instructions and guidance extremely well. Staff work hard to increase children's mobility and independence. For example, they organise the environment to allow children to develop their physical skills and enjoy the freedom of moving independently. Staff respond quickly to children's physical and emotional needs, which helps them to feel at ease and confident.

p.3

Outcomes for children are outstanding

Children are extremely confident, self-assured and motivated. They concentrate and focus on their activities superbly. For example, children listen to instructions and learn to control simple hand movements. They develop excellent levels of self-esteem and pride in their achievements, which helps to support their personal, social and emotional development. Children develop an excellent range of skills that support the next stage in their learning.
